Louisiana Doe: Louisiana Believes: English Language Arts: Grade 3: The Stories Julian Tells

Third graders learn that stories and books are important for learning about themselves and others. This unit allows students to learn how storytelling can be a way to learn about other cultures, pass on family history and traditions, and build a strong identity. Putting the same character in different situations can teach readers about how motivations, feelings, and a person's actions affect events and other people. Students will also learn that sharing stories can build relationships and connect them to others.
